transarterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs.traditional intravenous chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer with sox+pd-1

Conditions: Locally Advanced Gastric Carcinoma

Summary: sox regimen, consisting of oral s-1 and intravenous oxaliplatin, is the preferred regimen for perioperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer. the goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety between s-1 combined with oxaliplatin by arterial infusion, as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and conventional sox regimen, in locally advanced gastric cancer. the main question it aims to answer is: whether arterially infused oxaliplatin plus s-1 has the potential to be a better neoadjuvant option for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. participants will be randomised, and receive: * 3 cycles of conventional sox chemotherapy plus pd-1 antibody or arterial infused oxaliplatin plus s-1 and pd-1 antibody, as neoadjuvant chemotherapy; * adequate gastric resection along with d2 lymph node dissection; * 3 cycles adjuvant chemotherapy using sox regimen plus pd-1 antibody. * administration of s-1 regularly till 1 year after surgery. researchers will compare major pathological response rate (mpr) ，pathologic complete response rate（pcr）,the 2-year overall survival (os) rates, 2-year disease free survival (dfs), r0 resection rates, and adverse events, to see if the modified perioperative chemotherapy improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
